Vermont § 8501 - Establishment of the Commission and venue

§ 8501. Establishment of the Commission and venue

• (a) The compacting states hereby create and establish a joint public agency known as the
  “Interstate Insurance Product Regulation Commission.” Pursuant to section 8502 of
  this chapter, the Commission will have the power to develop uniform standards for
  product lines, receive and provide prompt review of products filed with the Commission,
  and give approval to those product filings satisfying applicable uniform standards,
  provided it is not intended for the Commission to be the exclusive entity for receipt
  and review of insurance product filings. Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit any
  insurer from filing its product in any state wherein the insurer is licensed to conduct
  the business of insurance, and any such filing shall be subject to the laws of the
  state where filed. (b) The Commission is a body corporate and politic and an instrumentality of the compacting
  states. (c) The Commission is a nonprofit entity, separate and distinct from the individual compacting
  states. (d) The Commission is solely responsible for its liabilities except as otherwise specifically
  provided in this compact. (e) Venue is proper and judicial proceedings by or against the Commission shall be brought
  solely and exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction where the principal office
  of the Commission is located. (Added 2005, No. 70, § 2; amended 2021, No. 105 (Adj. Sess.), § 272, eff. July 1, 2022.)
